BINSTOCK, Georgina e CABELLA, Wanda. Las mujeres que terminan su vida reproductiva sin hijos: evolución reciente en América Latina y el Caribe (1980-2010). Poblac. soc. [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.1, pp.32-52. ISSN 0328-3445. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.19137/pys-2021-280103.
Based on census data from 1980 and 2010 the paper examines trends in childlessness in the region. Results show the coexistence of two opposite trends: a decrease in nulliparity in countries that had low fertility levels in the 1980s and an increase in those with high fertility levels. This paper aims to advance in the interpretation of these counter- intuitive results, given that we expected an increase of childlessness in those countries with low or very low fertility in the 2000s. The trend reflects a cyclical behavior that replicates the European experience decades ago.
